You can also blend the whole garlic cloves and ginger with your onion and tomato to make a masala past                                   Red Chili Powder : depending on your heat tolerance, use either paprika or cayenne to your liking.Kasuri Methi : also known as fenugreek, this ingredient has an aroma that is ubiquitous in Indian cuisine. If it's not available, you can omit it.  Garam Masala : this spice blend is another one I recommend you keep in the spice cabinet. If it isn't available at your local grocery, you can opt to make your own blend. As a last resort, you can also substitute it with curry powder         Ghee/Yogurt : while these are traditional ingredients in egg curry, you can easily omit the dairy. Trade oil for ghee, and either opt for a coconut based yogurt or omit it entirely                                         How To Make Indian Egg Curry

Step 1 - Preparing Onion Tomato Paste

To start with, place onions, tomatoes, green chilies, fennel seeds, cumin seeds and peppercorns in the base of a grinder, blender or food processor           Blend to a smooth paste. Set it aside until a bit later.

Step - 2 Making Egg Gravy

Heat oil and ghee in a large, heavy bottomed pan, pot or wok.

Add bay leaves and fry for few seconds. Now, add ground onion tomato paste and sauté on high heat for 4-5 minutes.

Add ginger garlic paste, turmeric, coriander powder, chili powder and mix. Cook for few minutes until masala starts separate from the fat.

Add whisked yogurt and salt, mixing to combine. Cook for 1 minute. Now, add water to achieve the consistency of the curry you like. Bring it to a boil.

Make a slit in the boiled eggs and drop them gently into the gravy along with garam masala powder. Cook for 3-4 minutes on low heat.

Finally, add kasuri methi and chopped coriander leaves, then simmer for another minute.

Dish out and serve hot with rice, roti, or parathas. Enjoy!                                   Thank you
